In addition to the fee required in Section thirty-three, there shall be an additional fee of ten dollars for the issuance and renewal of such firefighter motorcycle license plate to be collected by the registrar and paid to the Massachusetts Firefighters Academy Trust Fund pursuant to Section 165A of Chapter 6 of the General Laws.
